Values
One would expect a candidate for office to have a clear understanding of their own values system. And often times, when we cannot be bothered to learn all there is about a candidate personally or politically, identifying them with a specific values system like Christian values, conservative values, liberal values, or what have you, canContinue reading "Values"
Finance is Destroying the Economy
"In recent years, annual trading in stocks — necessarily creating, by reason of the transaction costs involved, negative value for traders — averaged some $33 trillion. But capital formation — that is, directing fresh investment capital to its highest and best uses, such as new businesses, new technology, medical breakthroughs, and modern plant and equipmentContinue reading "Finance is Destroying the Economy"

The purpose of the investment bank is to offer a source of capital for the long-term investments necessary for the growthContinue reading "Economy"
Education
I can't say I have much to offer with regards to educational reform, I know we need it but that's about it. When I have brought up my thoughts on what could make for better education I have been roundly criticized. It is possible that my negative experience in the public education system has leftContinue reading "Education"
Government
Decentralization I believe in devolving decision making to the lower practical level of government because those closest to a problem are best equipped to handle it. This means allowing cities and localities to pass their own laws on most issues without being overruled by the state. This also means providing more funding to citiesContinue reading "Government"
